These stones are not marked on the OS maps, so I didn't expect them to still be here. However, they are here and they're a really nice stone pair.

Both stones are granite and they are aligned roughly northnertheast-southsouthwest. The northernmost stone is 1m tall and square in plan with a flat top. The other stone is pointed, taller (not quite 1.5m) and much more natural-looking. They fit the bill for a classic male/female pairing.

The gap between the stone is 4m, which is quite large, but I don't think there was ever a stone between the two.
